Legend of Swordsman

A massive light gate appeared in the void.

Rumbling sounds echoed from within the gate.

The presence of the gate left everyone in awe.

Seeing the gate, Jian Ni’s lips curled into a slight smile.

”He’s here!”

Yang Dingtian, still unaware of who was arriving, exclaimed, ”Is this someone you arranged?”

He hadn’t expected that Jian Ni, who had been hiding here all this time, had managed to contact external help.

And not just any help-it was an Emperor.

It was well-known that the Emperors of the Sacred Land were stationed in various ancient domain worlds at this time.

It was impossible for them to come here.

In the entire ancient domain world, apart from the Emperors of the Sacred Land, only the Emperors from the Ancient Court remained.

Yang Dingtian instantly understood-Jian Ni had drawn an Emperor from the Ancient Court to their side.

Tian Can and Emperor Yue Ying quickly caught on as well.

The Emperor within the ancient gate was, in all likelihood, an Emperor from the Ancient Court.

Of course, there was a small chance it could be an Emperor from another universe, but that was highly unlikely.

The ancient domain world was so poor that no Emperor would bother coming here. Even the Dao Lords of the ancient domain world left to explore the wider universe-no one cared about the affairs within the ancient domain world.

Only the Ancient Court and the Sacred Land vied for the Dao heritage here.

”Quit putting on a show!”

Emperor Yue Ying took the initiative, his Moon Blade spinning wildly in his hand as he charged toward the glowing ancient gate.

”I’ll see who you really are!”

Within the Ancient Court, there were ten Emperors in total.

Among them, only a few were at the pinnacle of third-tier combat power.

None were known to possess an innate treasure of the highest order.

But it couldn’t be ruled out that someone might have obtained such treasure and kept it secret.

If it was a third-tier Emperor with an innate treasure, their power would increase significantly, but only to a certain limit.

It wouldn’t allow them to surpass their tier.

If it were indeed a third-tier Emperor, they could likely elevate themselves to the peak of the third tier.

Thus, Emperor Yue Ying was unafraid. He rushed forward, wielding his Moon Blade, and slashed at the gate.

Boundless divine power swept across the surroundings.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The clash between the Moon Blade and the ancient gate produced an earth-shattering sound.

The impact caused Emperor Yue Ying’s divine body to tremble, yet the ancient gate remained completely unscathed.

Not only did it not break, but it didn’t even budge.

Emperor Yue Ying muttered to himself, ”As expected of an innate treasure. It’s as steady as a mountain. No matter how much I attack, I can’t shake it!”

However, the power within the ancient gate continued to suppress both him and Tian Can.

”Forget about it, focus on that sword immortal!”

After all, the one inside the gate wasn’t coming out, and at most, they were using their treasure to suppress their strength.

It wasn’t a huge threat.

If the person inside did show themselves, all the better.

Even if they couldn’t capture the quasi-immortal Emperor, they could at least expose the identity of a traitor.

No matter how they looked at it, they wouldn’t lose out.

But what none of them had expected was that the radiant gate suddenly shook for a moment, and a silver beast emerged from within.

In just a moment, the beast trembled again and split into two.

The aura emanating from it resembled the puppets of those who sacrificed themselves for divine blood.

In no time, the number of beasts doubled again.

From one, they became a hundred.

A hundred divine power puppets, each possessing more than ten thousand times the strength of an ordinary Universe Master.

This left everyone dumbfounded.

”My heavens, what kind of place does this ancient gate connect to?”

”All of them are at the Dao Master’s peak, comparable to the strength of an Emperor?”

Even Jiang Ni couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow and say, ”This guy really has some tricks up his sleeve, summoning so many silver beasts!”

Yang Dingtian, on the other hand, was completely stunned.

Each puppet’s strength was nearly the same as his own, making him feel utterly redundant.

Roar!

The beasts howled and charged toward Can Jiu and Emperor Yue Ying.

The Dao Masters that Emperor Yue Ying had brought with him scattered in every direction.

The hundred divine power puppets-none of them could stand against such overwhelming strength.

Now, the puppets had trapped both Can Jiu and Emperor Yue Ying.

With that, the Quasi-Immortal Emperor had his hands freed.

If they made a move against them at this point, there would be no chance of survival.

After all, this was someone ruthless enough to contend with a third-tier Emperor.

All the other Dao Masters had fled, except for Jian Wushuang and his two companions, who remained standing in place.

”Brother Wushuang, let me go first and give it a try!” Xue Yang rolled his wrists, brimming with excitement. ”I’ve been bullying Guardian Yunhai inside the Nine Prison Pagoda every day without any challenge. Now’s the perfect time to test Jiang Ni, see how strong this little girl is!”

”Alright,” Jian Wushuang agreed, not in any rush.

He knew well that Xue Yang’s strength was no match for Jiang Ni.

On the surface, Jiang Ni’s strength was already at the peak of the third tier, and she likely had hidden techniques.

Though Xue Yang was also a master of the Ultimate Dao, with a formidable divine body and powerful divine strength, further enhanced by his inheritance from his past life and self-created universe-level secret techniques, he only wielded a single Ultimate Dao.

Though both he and Jiang Ni practiced the Ultimate Sword Dao, the difference lay in the gap between life and death.

”Be careful. Jiang Ni is really strong; don’t let her kill you,” Jian Wushuang couldn’t help but remind him.

Although his strength had increased greatly, it still wasn’t enough to save someone from Jiang Ni in the blink of an eye.

Xue Yang’s eyebrow twitched, feeling a bit defiant. ”You underestimate me!”

With that, he drew his sword and dashed forward.

His divine power surged, amplifying from ten thousand times to thirty thousand times in an instant.

His secret technique, the Divine Eye, had already reached perfection in its first stage.

Combined with his self-created universe-level secret arts, his divine power tripled in potency.

It was immensely powerful.

With thirty thousand times the divine power and the Ultimate Sword Dao, few in the third-tier Emperor realm could rival him.

Jiang Ni, noticing the sudden burst of strength from this mysterious expert, rose to meet him head-on.

But as soon as they clashed, she couldn’t help but be surprised.

”This person’s strength is on par with mine... He’s a Dao Master too!”

That was what shocked Jiang Ni the most.

Among her peers, it was rare to find anyone who could take even a single strike from her, let alone someone who could match her strength.

Suddenly facing a Dao Master whose battle power was nearly equal to her own was truly shocking.

Up in the sky, where Can Jiu and Emperor Yue Ying were still battling the silver beasts, they too noticed the eruption of power from Xue Yang and couldn’t help but cheer.

Though they didn’t understand how Xue Yang had grown so strong, it was certainly better than letting Jiang Ni escape.

Boom!

The two exchanged blows, each sustaining significant injuries.

Xue Yang was astonished. He hadn’t realized Jiang Ni had mastered three types of Ultimate Dao.

If he had known, he wouldn’t have been so eager for a fight.

”I clearly gave it my all, yet only managed to lightly wound her. This is absurd!”

He thought back to the days when Jiang Ni, still in the Grand Perfection stage, couldn’t withstand even a single move from him.

But now, they were evenly matched.

The key difference was that he was struggling, while Jiang Ni, though not relaxed, certainly wasn’t feeling the same level of pressure.

Watching the fight from the sidelines, Immortal Jiu Chen couldn’t resist a mocking comment. ”What’s wrong with you? Getting pressed this hard by a little girl?”

”At this rate, you should forget about merging with the Dao and just retire to the mortal world to get married and live as a commoner!”

Already slightly disadvantaged, Xue Yang was irritated by Jiu Chen’s taunts and shot back, ”You old fossil, why don’t you come down and try? Let’s see how many of my strikes you can withstand!”

Seeing the two brawling, Jiu Chen’s hands had already started itching for a fight.

Without hesitation, his figure descended onto the mountain peak.

”Let’s try then!” With those words, he unleashed a palm strike, utilizing his Emperor-tier secret technique.

The force was terrifying.
